Etiquette when 'claiming' a camp during a CC

[supermonk]

Is it so hard to keep it real?

I understand you may want to claim a profitable camp, but please do not claim it when someone does a CC when in reality it's not true. Don't give off the impression you have rights to the camp if you still either need to clear down to the camp or fill out your group to hold the camp. If you're actually working to clear down to claim the camp, then just say it.

If you wiped, say you wiped and are recovering in OOC rather than pretend like you are still holding the camp. If you do decide to roll the dice and get caught, you have no right to get emotional and rage when someone calls your BS. Most people (or at least me) would be understanding when the truth is told, so do yourself a favor and have some faith that you don't have to lie to get ahead.

OP sounds like a nerd that is raging about Fungi King and thinks that he deserves the camp more than someone else. That is pure speculation but I have seen his kind in the past and the rant seems to fit the camp.

Actually talking about people who call C/E who don't even have a rogue to get in.

I hate when I am camping forager cycle (in Trakanon's Teeth) for hours and some random group shows up, killing forager for keys.

If someone is camping for named, they'll gladly let you have the medallions. I will even pull forager to your group and help you kill it. I just want the named

If a mob is up, and they're not there it's not being camped.

Must maintain kill force, and presence at the camp while clearing placeholders.

I think it's a little more nuanced than that. Let's say you're killing the Soothsayer in Droga, and there's no one in the zone, so you go kill some mobs around the corner, or maybe you even run over to the Chief camp. The Soothsayer has a 22 min timer, so you think you have time, but you leave late and miscalculate so the Soothsayer spawns just before you get back ... and at that moment someone logs in at the Soothsayer camp. They're staring at the Soothsayer and they don't see anyone nearby: you lose the camp right?

Based on the various GM reports in this forum I don't think that's how they would rule: I think they'd say you get to keep your camp. The alternative would be to say that even in an empty zone you must stay within a few feet of a camp at all times or else risk losing it, and that seems kinda silly.

If the second player killed your Soothsayer I don't think they'd punish him (sure they could have CCed, but that's not a requirement, so it's not really their fault), but they wouldn't give your camp to him. In other words, if you make a good faith effort and take reasonable steps to keep your camp, I don't think the staff will take it from you, even if you happen to step away at the moment the mob spawns and someone else snipes it.

Or at least that's how I understand it ... any young lawyers out there care to correct me?

Yeah you were pretty much on.

Specifically:

That being said, you can absolutely "camp" mobs, and you cannot steal another players 'camp'. In general, if the placeholder or placeholders for a spawn are being killed, that 'camp' can be considered held by the player doing the killing so long as they are keeping the placeholders cleared. You do not necessarily need to be at the spawn point to call it 'claimed' while it is uncontested, however, if someone else wishes to contest the 'camp' you do need to return to the 'camp' and maintain a presence at or very near the spawn(s) in order to hold it. It should also be noted that if you camp out or leave the zone (this includes dying/"corpsing" items), you have forfeited a camp. You cannot hold multiple 'camps' if another group wishes to contest one that you are holding. The player holding multiple 'camps' retains the right to choose which 'camp' to give up.

not more nuanced than this at all.

Mob up and not engaged = not camped.
